- An outside temperature of 9 degrees Celsius (45F) is mild in mid June.

- It’s acceptable to eat lunch at 11.00 and dinner at 15.00.

    • Uff, kjipt med UVI. Men bra du fikk sove 6 timer sammenhengende, det er jo ganske lenge.  Jeg tror det allerede er blitt en vane for han å våkne i 4-tiden. Han våknet igjen i natt. Lå litt å tygget på sengen og styrte, så sovnet han etterhvert. Og igjen når alarmen går klokken 7, så vil han bare sove videre, så det er virkelig ikke noe stort behov for å tømme seg. Så nå er det bare å få bort den vanen tenker jeg, så får jeg sove natten igjennom 😊
    • Så bra Her har ho begynt å tisse inne, så da var UVI et faktum.. Men men, det skjer ofte med valper.  I natt sov ho i 6 timer sammenhengende, deilig. 
    • Sjekker om det lukter tiss hvor? Nei. Får det veldig godt med meg om han tisser inne, så trenger ikke å leite eller lukte. Det er en stor dam der hvis han har tisset 😂 Har gått over til å gi han tørt for til siste måltid, også har jeg faktisk vært litt "streng" og ikke luftet han på natten med mindre han virkelig gir tegn på at han må. Han har våknet 2 ganger denne uken, og ikke gitt tegn på at han virkelig må ut, bare sånn "kan vi stå opp nå, jeg er ferdig uthvilt" aktig greie. I dag virket det som han ville sove videre når klokken ringte 7, selv om han forsøkte å vekke meg i 4-tiden, så jeg tror absolutt han klarer å holde seg. 
    • PS: er det andre enn meg som går rundt å sjekker om det lukter tiss hele tiden???
    • Min har holdt seg stabil frem til nå.  Jeg har begynt å sove oppe, den sover nede i bingen. Tydligvis så sover jeg tungt, for idag etter 7 timer var hele buret og valpen fullt av tiss. Dette har ikke skjedd før... så hektisk morgen..  Lurer litt på hva jeg skal gjøre nå. Prøve igjen og se om det var et uhell, eller bare sove 6 timer så ut...
